Mayoral Announcement of Mayor-Appointed Ad Hoc Advisory Committee on City Attorney Compensation (Information Only)

 

Report

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION

Per Council Policy 7.4.13, ad hoc advisory committees are created and appointed by the Mayor with a fixed, limited assignment for a particular purpose. No more than three Councilmembers may serve on an ad hoc advisory committee. The policy requires that any action to create or modify the committee must be placed as an item on the Council agenda.

 

The City Attorney undergoes an annual performance evaluation and salary adjustment. The Mayor will appoint three Councilmembers to form an ad hoc advisory committee to review and bring forth recommendations on the City Attorney’s compensation. Mayor Klein announces that Councilmember Melton, Councilmember Larsson, and Mayor Klein will be the newly formed ad hoc advisory committee. The ad hoc committee will make a recommendation to the full Council for consideration at a noticed open Council meeting. Upon presentation of the Committee’s findings and recommendations to the full Council and the Council’s action on the Committee’s recommendation, the term of the ad hoc committee will expire.
